We already have a Mumble server, can't quite remember the address of it, but you should be able to find it if you look around a bit.

OK, here's an idea; whoever the person was, (Oracle staff) who wrote "Java # 8" and expects all of us to use it, should start taking those free Harvard computer science classes. That "update" to Java not only drove me to ask my computer repair guy, to come over and "PLEASE FIX THIS! "--cause Java no longer allowed applets online to function, I read that business computers had to call in THEIR repair people too! (They all changed Java back to the functioning # 7) ...Talk about Oracle putting out a non-functioning java!

My idea is, since Java is necessary for many applets and even business software to run, and Oracle can't seem to make a bug-less update of it, why not ask China to craft a complete substitute for Java, & manufacture it, we all use the NEW ONE, and dump Oracle and it's "Java"? Everyone is using no. 7, anyhow. I bet that would break patent laws.WHO CARES at this point?! Not me! Any ideas? Or we nuke Oracle? That would stop the repeated "java update!" I have to yell "NO" at, every day.

REALLY, this BIG company gives us all such !@#*+%@!!crud we have to use? Does Linux avoid this? Does Apple? Do computer-deniers ? Just an idea about the nukes. (Dr. Strangelove-fan)

My other idea, gleaned from many sources is that ALL technology, including computing, is going BACKWARDS. EVERYTHING you buy!! tvs, stereos, computers, software, every appliance, machine!!We are rapidly advancing into a tech-DARK AGES. Everything will be (is) such junk, whole civilizations will fall.I have an OLD air-popper, for popcorn, I can't let go of, all the new ones are such junk!!Our lives read like the script of "Idiocracy" the movie.

Yeah, what'd yah all think?? Are we heading into a new Dark Ages? EVERY THING will no longer work? I'll have to buy tons of CANDLES, use pidgons for communication, read books for entertainment (already do)sew my own clothes, make shoes, and abandon those screens & monitors?I am over-dramatizing, but, hey, where is it gonna stop? Every machine function is BLAH! Even computer engineers tell me so.Is this a big sign of the Apocalypse?(whatever that is) We will run on all fours, grunt, live in trees, and eat bugs? Bananas? Does it just get worse until it collapses?

Disabling web applets is a security measure. Allowing computers to excecute java code from anywhere in the wild was considered a really bad idea, even with their already in place security restrictions, This is why Javascript was invented. So for all those ppl yelling that Java isn't jvascript, that's true, bit the similar names aren't just a coincidence At least that's what a lecturer told me.

Quote your sources. Also, bring on the dark ages Electrical engineering isn't magic. We can do it all again and better the next time around.

Also, is this remotely on topic? hahaha
